Dark Spots & Uneven Skin Tone

A dark spot is usually last year's pimple, last summer's sun, or a mark makeup never quite covers. It just sits there.

Brightening here means fading the look of leftover pigment, not bleaching your face. Turmeric, vitamin C, kojic, arbutin: different doors into the same job.

If the rest of your face looks fine and one patch doesn't, you're on the right page.
